Method: Heat oven to 425°F. Heat oil in a medium skillet on medium-high. Season pork with five spice and ¼ tsp salt and cook, turning occasionally until browned on all sides, about 6 minutes. Transfer skillet to oven and roast until internal temp reaches 145°F on an instant read thermometer, 15 to 18 minutes.
Mix maple syrup and fish sauce. Spoon maple mixture over pork, then transfer to a cutting board and let rest at least 5 minutes before slicing. While pork is cooking, make quick pickles: Whisk together vinegar, remaining Tbsp maple syrup and ½ tsp salt to dissolve. Add radish, carrots and jalapeño and let sit, tossing occasionally until pork is ready. Spread bread with mayonnaise. Pile with pickles and ½ cup cilantro. Top with pork and remaining cilantro and drizzle with sriracha, if desired.
